Dear support,

I would like to change a standard behaviour of Visual Composer.
Actually, in the “single image” item, I would like to display the title below the image (and not above it, which is the standard behaviour).

In order to achieve so, I checked the VC documentation. It explains that I should create a folder “vc_templates” in my child theme folder, and copy the template from VC (in my case : vc_single_image.php) in order to be able to apply some changes in it.

My issue is that this process is not working… The subfolder is not called by VC. I also realized that the standard folder from VC (/wp-content/plugins/js_composer/composer/shortcodes_templates) is not called neither.

Can you please tell me how your theme calls the VC plugin, and, even more important, how can I customize VC while using the Legenda theme?

Many thanks in advance,
Nathalie

Hello,

VC customizations are written in the file wp-content/themes/legenda/framework/vc.php.
Please show a screenshot what exactly you want to modify.

Thank you.
Regards,
Eva Kemp.

Thanks Eva for your reply.
Basically, I would like, in your function vc_theme_vc_single_image (located in vc.php), to change your code :

$output .= "\n\t\t\t".wpb_widget_title(array('title' => $title, 'extraclass' => 'wpb_singleimage_heading')); $output .= "\n\t\t\t".$image_string;

into this code :

$output .= "\n\t\t\t".$image_string; $output .= "\n\t\t\t".wpb_widget_title(array('title' => $title, 'extraclass' => 'wpb_singleimage_heading'));

This means I would just like to reverse the order of these two lines. I tried to achieve this directly into vc.php, and it does the job.
However, I would like a more robus way to achieve this (ie. a way that would not be erased as I update the theme). If I copy your function vc_theme_vc_single_image into the functions.php of my child theme, the website crashes.
As far as I see, there is no hook in your function that could help me.

How do you recommand to achieve this ?

Many thanks,
Nathalie

Hello,

You need create framework folder in the child theme directory and copy modified vc.php file in there. Please read in the article:
